What is the best approach when you need to monitor message count for all the MSMQ queues and send alert if   count value greater than a specific value in a clustered MSMQ environment ? Let's suppose the cluster consists of two systems: 1 active and 1 passive. In the two nodes we have Windows OS Agent and we can use MSMQ Queue attribute group for this purpose. Looking at the returned info you can notice that some MSMQ queues are showed only on a single node, that is the active one. Does it depends on the cluster role of MSMQ or is... [More]

Hello folks,   So there seems to be a little confusion out there over when specific versions of TCR have reached their end of life.  Unfortunately there's currently nowhere external to IBM that you can see this information, so I've collated a quick little list of all the different versions and their respective EOS dates here.  I hope you find it useful!   TCR 1.1 30 Apr 2011 TCR 1.1.1 30 Sep 2013 TCR 1.2 30 Sep 2015 TCR 1.3 30 Sep 2015 TCR 2.x 30 Apr 2018 TCR 3.1 No EOS date currently scheduled.      ...

Please clarefy about this term  "Agent rows written per minute". 1) Is this attribute  for each one agent or this count of the sum all agents? As was note at the link below in system requarements, for Extra small environment size - Fewer than 3 K. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSHLNR_8.1.3/com.ibm.pm.doc/install/planning_requirements_serverhwreqs.htm#serverhwreqs 2) Linux agent has 6213 rows incerts per minute, so the  Extra small its bad idea?

I have seen quite a number of pmrs recently where there has been issues of disconnects or performance issues with the HUB, RTEMS and the TEPS which have been caused by agents being cloned with the same hostname for the agent. Cloned agents can cause slow downs or crashes especially on the TEPS, as the agent name is constantly being updated with a new ip address.   If you have this issue you will often see the... [More]
